Season 32 Episode 3217 | 26m 46s | CC

We tour a home garden that was thoughtfully planned before the first plant went in the ground. Infrastructure such as hardscape, lighting, and irrigation will make this space productive for a long time. We get a lesson in plant propagation at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. Jeff Poppen shares his experiences of growing peppers and eggplants this past growing season, along with recommended varieties.
